We really, really, really want Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon to be a real thing. Everything we've seen so far screams amazing. Well whatever Blood Dragon is supposed to be, the mystery continues as these three retro '80s tracks we...

It's April Fools. This is my disclaimer stating so. Regardless, I have a pretty good feeling about this announcement being real, since an achievement list and box art leaked recently. The teaser video above is an '80s VHS th...

Details on a Far Cry 3 downloadable expansion continue to come out. Previously hinted by lead writer Jeffrey Yohalem and Ubisoft registering rights to "Blood Dragon," we now have the juiciest details yet: An Xbox Live Arcade ...

The latest episode of The Creators Project took a behind-the-scenes look at how Ubisoft brought life to Far Cry 3. The video goes over how Ubisoft wanted to constantly distract the player with the wealth of options available within the game. They also touched on the amount of play testing that went into designing island.

If you've been waiting to pick up Far Cry 3, today might be a good day -- it's $34.99 as Amazon's Gold Box Deal of the Day. The sale is going on for 360, PS3, and PC, and you can opt for the physical or digital version of the...

Far Cry 3 might have been one of last year's biggest surprises, what with its return to the tropical setting of the original and its late-in-the-year release. Despite the seemingly ham-fisted approach to gaming satire, its op...

IGN sat down with Far Cry 3's executive producer Dan Hay to talk about the creation of one of the best characters of 2012, Vaas Montenegro. Originally, Vaas was a big bald dude named Bull. He essentially looked like a generic...

Far Cry 3 has been accused of racism, sexism, and relying too heavily on exploitative narrative tropes. Lead writer Jeffrey Yohalem, however, thinks the critics have missed the point, and told Penny Arcade that Far ...

Oh, Far Cry 3 -- why couldn't you have come out a bit sooner than during the first week of December? Perhaps it's for the best that some of us get through our current lot before diving into what will likely be one of the year...

As announced on the PlayStation Blog, those of you hunting down wildlife in Far Cry 3 on PlayStation 3 will have exclusive content to play this January with the arrival of High Tides, a cooperative DLC pack. While few specifi...

[Update: Ubisoft says it has now gotten the servers back and you can play. Also, some people are responding to that by thanking Ubisoft. Don't do that. You just paid for that friggin' game, and you're owed a working one. They...

Far Cry 2 and I have a very special relationship, as I don't think I've ever enjoyed a game that I hated so much. I've played it many times, loving and loathing every second of it. For as much as it infuriated me with its gli...

Far Cry 3 keeps looking better every time I see it, and this introduction to it's multiplayer component is no different.
The folks over at Ubisoft have got the staples of most modern first-person shooters covered with a XP a...

Because if you do, you'll have a sweet barroom firefight in your mind. Actually, that doesn't sound all too bad!
Freddie Wong offered his own Far Cry 3 tribute the other week, so of course the Corridor Digital boys would want a crack at it as well. Enjoy, you filthy monkeys!

Ubisoft has announced a four-episode web series (set to launch around the same time as Far Cry 3) developed internally called Far Cry Experience that, according to them, is going to be "a big gift to fans."

Far Cry 3's Hoyt seems like a nice guy, even though some are calling him a tyrant. The name does not fit.
In this trailer you'll see that Hoyt's job is to find people and help them get work, and he apparently runs the l...

I'm not sure about most players, but when I hear people talk about the Far Cry series, what comes to my mind are the scenic locales, the interesting level design and the awkward massacre of zebras. In an unique marketing...

The original Far Cry was an incredibly fun experience, with a varied deadly tropical landscape and relatively intelligent A.I. opponents for the time. The gameplay was both challenging and continuously engaging, and made me a...

The trailer above details two of your main allies in Far Cry 3. Dennis Richards is a Liberian National who has found a home among the Rakyat tribe that lives on Rook Island. During my own playthrough that will go up tomorrow...

This newest Far Cry 3 trailer shows off two of the jungle's craziest and most savage residents, Vaas and Buck. These chaps look like they'd ruin anyone's holiday in a tropical paradise; well, them and the tigers.

Far Cry 3 is coming out on December 4 and I think that's a horrible time to release a game, especially something as big as a Far Cry title. The worst part is that it's coming after Black Friday here in America, one of the mo...

Much of what I've seen from Far Cry 3 has been centered around either lots of people being violently killed, the concept of insanity, or both. Which is fine, though the open-ended locales have always been what pulled me into...

Far Cry 3 is easily one of the prettiest first-person shooters to date. Usually you expect dark, murky visuals, but the team at Ubisoft opted for making a lush, bright world that can easily be filled with the corpses of local...

Man, gamescom sure knows how to drown us in undbridled stuff. Here's a new trailer for Far Cry 3, giving us a deeper look at the characters available in co-op. Those expecting their fix of lush jungles and that weird man talking about insanity will be disappointed. This is pretty dark and gritty compared to the usual vids.
Anyway, check it out if you want. You have that freedom!

Ubisoft has released a little walkthrough detailing all the key points you'll need to know on the four-player co-op mode of Far Cry 3. The co-op is its own story focusing on four characters out for revenge. You'll be able to...

“Yeah, more of that, then. Cool.”
This is me on just about every first-person shooter at E3 2012. It takes effort to discern what separates the new Crysis, Medal of Honor, and Call of Duty from their previous i...

Far Cry was never a series I thought I’d want to play in four player co-op, but, then again, there aren’t many games that don’t benefit from it. While I’d hate to see three online chuckleheads ruin the...

With its insane cast of characters, impressive visuals, and increased focus on narrative, Far Cry 3 has been shaping up to be a very impressive sequel for Ubisoft Montreal's first-person shooter franchise. Well...

I'm rather looking forward to Far Cry 3, having enjoyed its predecessors despite their less-than-subtle flaws. If absolutely nothing else, these games offer locales that I always find myself wanting to explore for a little w...

A new video of Far Cry 3 surfaced on GameTrailers yesterday, complete with action-movie white knight antics. Of course, wouldn't you know it, with the building on fire and on the verge of collapse Jason B...

To promote Far Cry 3 at PAX East, Ubisoft is giving fans the opportunity to get a (totally real) tattoo or mohawk. As Hamza would say, this is happening "because videogames!"
Suze from The Hourglass Tattoo Parlor will be at t...

We recently received our first good look at Far Cry 3 since E3 with a gripping cinematic that shed some light on the protagonist and his motivations for waging a guerrilla war on a hostile island far from home. But...

Far Cry 3 has exploded back into the spotlight with an incredible new trailer, one that I think you need to see. No gameplay yet, but it seems like the story is going to be excellent, and whoever is providing the voice for t...

Following the Far Cry 3 presentation and demo at the Ubisoft booth at gamescom, I got to interview narrative director Jason VandenBerghe, who is without a shadow of a doubt a most amazing man.
We don't only ta...

In case there was any doubt, at least part of Far Cry 3 will take place on a tropical island. This has been completely confirmed today by a set of screens coming out of gamescom that show off leaves, sand, and water. Yup… that's a tropical island. Far Cry 3 is set for a release in 2012, so prepare for malaria accordingly.

Hey guys! It's me, Max! Remember me? I'm back from my vacation with another episode of The Destructoid Show for you to rub your noses in.
First up, twelve minutes of Batman: Arkham City exists on the internet. On top of th...

Far Cry 2 was a pretty big game, full of zebras and guns that jammed every two minutes. Far Cry 3 isn't going to be happy with matching that experience -- it wants to make it even bigger.
"If you look at the vistas and the sc...

One of the biggest surprises to come out of E3 this year was that Ubisoft is working on a new Far Cry game! I don't think people really saw it coming but it was a nice to see the return of my favorite animal killing simulato...

Here is the Far Cry 3 footage that Ubisoft showed earlier at their press conference, but this time with some commentary here and there on what we're looking at. There's a lot of different types of action going on, with the a...
